    The appearance of the Tanzhou Administrative Office has changed in just a few days.  Everything in front of him made Xiao Yan, who returned here satisfied with his travels, a little unable to believe his eyes.  The city wall is still charred and damaged, and the traces of the war and fire that day are still there.  But all the corpses around the city wall were cleaned up.  It was also sprinkled with lime and then covered with loess.  Although it is the climate of late autumn and early winter.  But Fang Teng still worked tirelessly to prevent a major epidemic from happening if too many people died.  Where the city wall is broken, there are dense crowds of civilians moving earth and stones to repair the breaches.  In the moat, there were also people descending into the moat, continuing to dig deeper and plant more wooden stakes.  Every once in a while, there are hot pots and stoves set up, and a few men are there holding ladles, distributing hot ginger soup to people who go into the water.  At the gate of each city, there are also bags of grain stacked up. Every farmer comes here with his chips to exchange for food after finishing a round of work. The family members behind these farmers have already been waiting with empty pockets.  When the chips were handed over, a day's worth of food was poured into their pockets.  Fang Teng¡¯s move was clearly based on the idea of ??providing work for relief.  In the blink of an eye, people's hearts were settled.  Those who distributed hot soup and food relief, although their clothes were messy, had white labels on their sleeves.  Those who shout and drink are extremely majestic.  It seems that Fang Teng has at least established a system of petty officials. With officials, there is order in this chaotic world.  It makes people feel a little calmer.  How much grain is in Tanzhou's warehouse? Xiao Yan comes and goes in a hurry and has no idea.  However, at each city gate, there are now vehicles of various sizes, hanging the flags of their respective docks, constantly transporting things inside.  It seemed that Fang Teng was probably just like him, promising short-term benefits.  Let these Yandi tycoons who have submitted their services come up with tangible things to repay the favor.  Looking at this posture, even if these powerful people from all over the world don't bring much, it should be enough to at least stabilize Tanzhou for a period of time and support themselves to rely on this place to fight the decisive battle with the Jurchen troops going south.  Of course, it¡¯s natural not to promise benefits in vain.  There must also be enough force to deter people, making people believe that the Song Dynasty has enough strength to suppress this place, and this will definitely be the territory of the Song Dynasty in the future.  Only these powerful men would accept their fate and serve each other, hoping to seek a better position in the future Song Dynasty's ruling system in the Yan region.  One of the white chess soldiers has been taken out. Three times a day, the men and horses, all wearing heavy armor, are slowly patrolling around Tanzhou.  Every time they go out, there are hundreds of people riding up and down.  These men and horses are all heavily armored knights and have always been important to the military.  Can't afford it easily.  The cost of each heavy rider is extremely staggering.  The power of the entire Song Dynasty was limited to just such a white soldier!  For this kind of inspection, it would be more appropriate to use light cavalry.  But these white soldiers advanced slowly and patrolled around Tanzhou.  The heavy armor of the officers, men, and horses have all been polished and detailed, making them dazzling under the autumn sun.  As for the soldiers behind the officers, the surface treatment of the heavy armor of the men and horses is not so detailed, they are all blackened.  But these black-armored knights took action.  Just like an iron wall moving slowly, the horse's hooves hit the ground, hammering into the heart like a drum. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from home.  But fortunately, there are many horses in Tanzhou, so there is no need for the horses to rush into the formation and leave in armor. The other horses marching in formation with armor leaves are barely enough.  Anyway, no one else can tell the difference without being on the spot.  And doing this three times a day, whenever they encounter the powerful teams from all over the place coming to report, everyone is afraid to avoid the way, and they don't even dare to raise their heads when the white-castle soldiers pass by. Seeing this heavy cavalry is so majestic - even  During the heyday of the Liao Dynasty, there were no such fully equipped heavy cavalry.  Who dares to doubt the Song Dynasty's rule here?  Fang Teng did more than that. He was really like a state shepherd, taking care of everything.  The construction of the pontoon bridge has begun on the Qidu River and is already half complete.  He also took care of the long-abandoned beach weirs and water ponds around them.  Anyway, it's all about providing food relief, as if once spring begins, he will still be here to supervise the mulberry farming.  Tanzhou originally had many young people who fled from the four villages, and some even fled from Liaodong.  People were already densely packed, so Fang Teng simply used them all.  As soon as people move, Tanzhou suddenly becomes full of life and vitality.  Xiao Yan led a large group of troops and horses back. The Tanzhou people who were busy around all raised their heads and waved and cheered at them, as if they were their children who went on the expedition. These soldiers of the Song Dynasty who went north and experienced such a deadly battle,  Everyone was amazed!  Xiao Yan was with Han Shizhong and Yue Fei.  Surrounded by dozens of personal guards, he returned to Tanzhou City.  The large army of soldiers and horses he led were now resting in a camp set up outside the city. It was impossible for all the soldiers and horses to be crowded in the city at the same time.  Anyway, Xiao Yan now holds light and heavy cavalry in his hands. The expanded Shenwu Evervictorious Army probably totals six to seven thousand. In addition to defending the city,?The larger the land controlled near Tanzhou, the more buffers there are and the safer Tanzhou will be.  These soldiers who accompanied him on the expedition will first rest and eat, and then give them a day off to relax their bodies and minds. Then these backbones who have collided with the Jurchens will follow his army northward.  They entered through the west gate. This was the place where the fighting was the most brutal at first, but now it was neatly tidied up. Everyone stepped aside and saluted when they saw Xiao Yan's flag.  Xiao Yan raised his horse on the suspension bridge and said to Han Shizhong with a smile: "Senior Counselor Fang is really serious about his ability and wants to build a small Taoyuan of Yandi here? It's a pity that we don't have much time here. We have to clean up the Jurchens."  Go south as soon as possible! The officials will have the final say on who the governor of Tanzhou will be. Counselor Fang is really working hard here!" Yue Fei, standing next to Xiao Yan, also praised: "Counselor Fang is here with us.  When facing the Jurchens at Gubeikou, he is already a rare person. Judging from his ability to care about the place, he is really a talented person! With Xiao Xuanzan and Yan Di, he is determined!  He grinned and murmured: "After cleaning up the Jurchens, it will only be considered successful if we can finish it quickly. According to me, old Han, it all depends on the sky! Whether we can turn around Yanjing in time and seize this great success is all hanging in the sky.  Well, if you say this to others, I, Old Han, can¡¯t be fooled" He spoke in a very low voice. Xiao Yan had sharp ears, and after hearing the general idea, he turned back and glared at him: "Po Han Wu, what did you say?" " Han Shizhong?  He spread his hands hurriedly: "I said that Fang Counselor is very capable! I have been here for a few days, and I have been ordered around by him. The White Hammer Soldiers are used to patrol the city. The Shenwu Changsheng Army is used to count household registrations. There are powerful docks around, and soldiers are also required.  Ma Yiyi went to show off his power, and he didn't sleep well! Xuan Zan, I can't do anything with Erqian. I'll just follow you to the north. If you come back to Shuikou Mountain, I'll go back to the Western Army.  , It¡¯s amazing to see my creditors again!¡± Han Shizhong is in his thirties and is still so lazy.  Xiao Yan had nothing to do with him. If Han Shizhong hadn't won the hearts of the army, he would have just kicked him back to the Western Army.  While glaring at him fiercely.  In the city gate, Fang Teng, with his big sleeves fluttering, walked out unsteadily. Behind him were two servants of Shenwu Changsheng Army. Some of them were temporarily transferred by Fang Teng to take charge of Tanzhou's security and serve as government officials.  A character like Ben.  After several days of hard work, Fang Teng looked very good. He didn't look as embarrassed as he had just escaped from Gubeikou that day. He raised his hand towards Xiao Yan and said, "Xiao Xuanzan came back after winning the battle. The Fang family came home late, please forgive me."  Sin!" Fang Teng seems to be very popular among the people of Tanzhou. He has been running around these days, and everyone is familiar with this.  A white-faced scholar from the Song Dynasty.  All the people around him knelt down and prayed loudly: "Fang County is the guardian of the Duke forever!" Fang Teng also smiled and waved to them, looking elegant and suave.  Xiao Yan looked a little annoyed, he actually dared to be more handsome than me!  I'm wearing armor. If I change into a po1o shirt, take care of my hair, drive a good car, and have a watch on my hand, let's see who is popular with the little girl in the bar But for this Da Song who sticks to me  Xiao Yan did not dare to neglect Jinshi.  What's more, he has shown his ability in Gubeikou and Tanzhou.  Xiao Yan hurriedly dismounted and saluted him: "Young Commander Fang is so polite! This is how the Xiao family can handle themselves!" He, the Sheriff, and he who went north privately were all the same thing, and none of them were officially recognized by the Song Dynasty.  Our eldest brother need not talk about our second brother.  Fang Teng welcomed Qi with a big smile, in the eyes of the people of Tanzhou.  The two top figures of the Song Dynasty, one civil and one military in Youyan North (Ma Kuo was still lying on the bed crying I and Xiao Yan have the same status!) went hand in hand into the city. Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and the others also dismounted and followed behind.  .  As soon as he entered the west gate, Xiao Yan was surprised again. The area around the west gate was the most severely damaged area that day. All the buildings here had been cleaned up.  A large open space was revealed.  This vacant land has actually become a city.  The people of Wubi, Sixiang, carry carts on their shoulders and sell all kinds of fruits and vegetables here. There are even small mat tents nearby, which are already filled with the aroma of frying and frying.  In front of some mat tents, there were some women standing there, trying to smile and pretending to welcome guests.  Needless to say, these women fled, were alone after experiencing war, or had old and weak people to support, so they had no choice but to take up one of the two oldest professions in mankind to attract customers and make a living.  Xiao Yan was just dumbfounded. The vitality of the Chinese people has been so tenacious from ancient times to the present.  Even in troubled times, as long as it brings them a little stability, they can find ways to survive!  But these feelings with the aura of human fireworks in front of me have been gone for a long time.  Since the time travel, except for a brief moment of settling down in Xiongzhou, the rest of the time has been spent in battles, traveling between thousands of deaths.  It's all warHorses, armored soldiers, weapons, fighting, bloody, but I forgot that I came to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.  Behind him, before the Jurchen soldiers and horses moved south in large numbers, this was the most prosperous country in the Middle Ages!  It's pity that his life in time travel was not good. "If I didn't end up in Bianliang, it would be unjust if I died there without enjoying anything" Xiao Yan cried silently in his heart, but the guards behind him lowered their voices.  He laughed there. Xiao Yan looked back and saw that the guards were all winking and pointing at the women who were smiling at the door. Most of Xiao Yan's guards were from the Shengjie Army and were well paid.  Seriously, no matter where the army is stationed, it is accustomed to having three tiles and two houses. In this era, Xiao Yan does not expect that his subordinates will be a group of Puritans, not to mention that they have just experienced a bloody battle, let alone what their future fate will be.  Zhi! Immediately waved his hand: "Let's disperse half of the time and then take turns. There must be someone by my side!"  You bastard, get out!  "The guards raised their hands and saluted loudly: "Thank you for your grace!  "In the blink of an eye, half of them dispersed. Fang Teng smiled beside Xiao Yan and said, "Most of the people who came to Tanzhou came from people fleeing from all directions, and even quite a few came from as far away as Liaodong.  There are many big families among them, and they have a lot of small property, and most of them have survived wars and fires.  As long as the rule of Tanzhou is a little peaceful, Wubi in the four villages will not dare to think of breaking into Tanzhou to rob the property of these refugees, and they will naturally form their own market and trade with each other The students are just bows.  If it weren't for announcing a great victory in the north.  The Jurchens were killed so much that they did not dare to go south and look down on Tanzhou. How could such a situation exist!  When Xiao Xuanzan's victory came, the market here suddenly became several times more prosperous. Everything depended on Xuanzan Hu's power!  " Xiao Yan scratched his neck, feeling a little embarrassed to be praised by Fang Teng. He had been leading the troops to fight, and he didn't put any thought into civil affairs, so there was really no merit. He cleaned up the place, maintained law and order, and maybe something else.  Fang Teng was responsible for all other messy things. He could not afford to attribute all the prosperity in this troubled world to him, no matter how thick-skinned he was.  He didn't say anything, but he kept flattering me. Is he really a crook?  , I can only be amazed.  The Xiao family doesn't dare to take credit for the survival of a living being. It's all due to the hard work of Governor Fang." Fang Teng smiled and made a gesture of leading the way: "Xiao Xuanzan.  Can anyone please talk a few words in detail?  " Xiao Yan was startled, then watched Fang Teng hold up his coat to lead the way, and walked up the steps of the city wall inside the west gate. The two servants behind him stayed behind. Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, and then left his own bodyguards behind.  . Follow Fang Teng up to the city wall. Only the Shenwu Changsheng soldiers are guarding it. Besides, even if Fang Teng wants to push him down, he probably won't be able to defeat him.  "Lao Tzu" On top of the city wall, the autumn wind blows in our face.  It makes people feel happy immediately.  Looking around, the Qidu River flows, showing a clear green color in the sun.  Half of the pontoon is built on top of it, extending towards the north.  There are Yandi villagers rolling up their trousers to clean up the floods and weirs around the surrounding farmland.  People can be seen everywhere, and smoke is rising from the city.  It seems that the current situation that I am in is not a troubled time, not a time when the armies of the Three Kingdoms have gathered here to separate a fight to the death, but a most peaceful era.  ¡°I saw so many battlefields with millions of corpses lying on them, and so many tragic scenes of bleeding and floating oars.  Xiao Yan entered the city wall near the archery tower.  He was speechless for a moment.  ¡°Did all this peace really come about after I fought to the death?  The Song Dynasty behind him must have been a hundred times more prosperous than here. The people there, their ancestors, enjoyed a peaceful life that was richer than anywhere else in this era.  ¡°Can everything I do prevent the crumbling sky from falling suddenly?  No matter what, it seems that my time travel has not been in vain so far.  My new life is much more meaningful than the past twenty-six years Fang Teng, who came up first, had already bowed deeply to a tablet enshrined in the arrow tower.  Xiao Yan glanced at it and asked in surprise: "Whose tablet is this?" Fang Teng stood up and said calmly: "It is the tablet of Wang Yaksha, the previous lord of Tanzhou. I have already visited, this Wang Yaksha  There are no descendants left. A great thief died in the end, but he tried his best to save tens of thousands of people in this troubled time. It can be said that he died in righteousness. The student set up a memorial tablet for him on this arrow tower.  , I show my respect, he deserves this courtesy." Xiao Yan took a breath, strode over, and bowed to Wang Yaksha's tablet. He stood up and asked Fang Teng: "Senior Fang, what do you want to say?Just tell me, I don't have much time, I will convene a military meeting soon to discuss a large-scale march north.  Why are you standing sideways in the Xiao family's army and doing your best?  The Xiao family doesn't know either.  However, the people of Tanzhou should consider it a blessing to have you as pastor for a short period of time!  Although Xiao is crazy now, he is actually in an unexpected and dangerous place.  You can only save your own life and future destiny by fighting as hard as you can!  A true man, since you have chosen this path, you must go on The focus of the Song Dynasty now is the war in front of the Gaoliang River. You need to find someone to place a bet, or find some benefit.  Let's go to Yanjing.  The Xiao family really doesn't deserve your care!  " Xiao Yan is too lazy to continue dealing with Fang Teng. The scholar-officials group of the Song Dynasty is really a terrible existence. He has enough troubles. If he gets involved in another whirlpool, he will probably die. He will die now.  I want to quickly deal with the Jurchens and then go back to grab Yanjing. I have a way to survive in this era! No matter what kind of force is behind Fang Teng, I don't want to provoke him.  If you don't have the strength to provoke me, it's better to let the matter go. If Fang Teng wants to get on top of me, I will kill you and destroy all traces of you! While Xiao Yan was gritting his teeth in his heart, Fang Teng remained silent.  She looked at him quietly and said calmly: "Xiao Xuanzan, have you ever thought about it.  It's very possible that you won't have time to turn back and grab Yanjing?  Even if you are here and wipe out the entire Jurchen army going south, as long as you fail to participate in the war at Yanjing and cannot declare the great success of restoring Yan that the general hopes for you, you will go north secretly.  It's a great connection, and since you are a returnee from the south, you really have nothing to rely on except military merit.  There will be an unexpected disaster!  Maybe someone behind you has already attacked you because your military exploits are so amazing.  The rise is too great, the limelight is too great, and it arouses the jealousy of many caring people!  "In this case, have you decided to insist on a large-scale march northward and drive all the Jurchen soldiers and horses north of Yanshan?"  Instead of taking advantage of the fact that the Jurchens' spirit has been dampened, the great city of Tanzhou is also.  Pay attention to the garrison of a part of Shenwu Changsheng's army, which is enough to block the Jurchen soldiers and horses here for a period of time, enough for you to return to Yanjing to take credit. Xiao Xuanzan, please tell me, will you do this?  " Xiao Yan was silent. Returning from the journey, how could such thoughts not keep rolling around in his mind! I used to be a dead white-collar worker. I never had any psychological burden to flatter and do small bad things. I have long been worn out by society and I have no ambition.  Ambition. I don¡¯t know whether it was bad luck or luck. I traveled to this era and showed abilities and courage that I had never expected. I actually managed to fight my way up to the present day. The wandering visitor from a thousand years ago actually survived a thousand deaths on his own.  A bloody road, with a way to climb up and status and honor. I have been rescued from the north and have a bloody battle with the Jurchen Tatars, which has severely weakened their morale.  Is it okay to explain it? Should I think more about myself now? But such thoughts did not torture me for too long. When countless athletes fell beside me because of my encouragement, I was near Yanshan.  They followed them to fight to the death because they believed that the Jurchens would be the great enemy of the Song Dynasty in the future. If they left now, how could they be worthy of them? The Jurchen soldiers and horses have been severely frustrated by themselves.  Vigor. Now is a good opportunity to fight them out in one go. If this battle is won cleanly, the Jurchens may not dare to think about going south for a long time.  He turned around and went back to fight for credit, let the Jurchen soldiers and horses recover, add reinforcements, gather the powerful forces in the border areas, and strengthen their momentum, and then turn around, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to copy the changes in history because of their appearance, and the Jurchens will be ahead of schedule!  If they go south, it is their responsibility to drive them back! Because so many men have died on the battlefield for this! If the Jurchen commander knows his troops and sees that he is eager to go deep alone and quickly goes north, he should know that he has an advantage.  If you are fighting, you will have a deep trench and high base. If you wait for his morale to drop, you will definitely have no time to turn around and fight for the battle that will determine your future.  Destiny's return to Yantou. But so what? I have already made the decision to go north and fight this war to the end. As for the future, it depends on fate. I have traveled through time and fought with this thief until now.  Isn't it a miracle? No matter what, I am not ashamed, and this new life is vigorous enough. If God really allowed me to travel through time, then I would never be in this era.  Until he completed his mission from time to time, Xiao Yan didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. He just straightened his clothes and pressed the button.  The sword turned around and said, "Consultant Fang.  Xiao ?The people are about to go north, and Tanzhou's manpower and material resources are indispensable. Will you participate in this military discussion?  Or should we simply clap our hands and leave, leaving this broken ship where the Xiao family is?  " Fang Teng was startled, and a smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Xuanzan said that no one who comes or returns worries about their future fate.  The Fang family was a Jinshi of the Song Dynasty. They had a lot of aid from China and Austria, and they were also guest officials.  What else are students afraid of?  Forget it, the students will accompany Xiao Xuanzan and fight this war that everyone else in the Song Dynasty pretends not to see until the end!  ¡± End of this chapter)
